Even if the idea of handing out chocolates and teddy bears on Valentine's Day makes you roll your eyes, you can still get into the spirit with a pretty hairstyle! This heart-shaped braid is a fun twist on your average French pigtails, and it's perfect for February 14—or anytime you want to get a little girly with your look. Creating the perfect curve can take some practice, so you may want to try the style on your friend's hair first. Keep reading for the short step-by-step tutorial!

2. Using a rattail comb, start at the back of your part and draw a curved line that ends just behind your ear. This will be your guide for one side of the heart.

3. Clip the rest of your hair back and out of the way. Repeat on the other side of your head.

4. Starting at the crown of your head, begin a tiny reverse French braid, only picking up hair from the outside of the heart shape. Stay close to the curved part you created as you braid!

5. Once you get behind your ear, unclip the back section, and start joining that hair into the braid.

6. Continue French braiding down to the nape of your neck; then clip that section to the side and repeat steps 4-6 on the other side of your head. If you created the curved parts evenly at the start, it will be easy to get both sides of the heart symmetrical!

7. Pull both braids to the center of your neck, and secure. We like the ponytail look, but you can also try a low bun or bigger braid!

8. Gently tug at the sections of your braid to make them look thicker and more tousled. Lightly spritz with hairspray to get rid of any frizzies.
